[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, the part about the para-educator mocking your child really struck me. I think you need to make a big deal about this and, if I were you, i would make it a separate issue from the appeal of the suspension itself. I would not want my child around this person.[/quote]

Op here: I will definitely be making this a point. She is also a teacher in the afterschool program and has gotten complaints on yelling at the children and being unnecessarily harsh. This came up at an all parent meeting the program had earlier this year. [/quote]

My neurotypical kid reacted terribly to a daycare aide that similarly mocked him.  Even at age 2, that aide was on his sh$t list permanently.  I was actually happy that he could recognize disrespectful behavior, even in an adult.  And frankly, there are few behaviors that would lead me as an adult to lose control, but mocking me would be one of them.

You are right to address the behavior and continue your search for answers to the underlying medical issues.  And consequences are appropriate for him, even thought I agree that the punishment is way out of line for this situation (my NT kid is in 1st).  But it sounds like you'd be doing everyone a favor by formalizing your grievance about this teacher.  The fact that his issues are aggravated by an adult, rather than helped, is a sign that she is in the wrong business (especially given the other complaints).
